Shepard Fairey - Obama 'Hope'Powerful colours - red symbolising importance. this is contrasted with the shades of blue which perhaps shows juxtaposition between that and the text 'Hope'. Blues are usually associated with quite sad emotions. The face is half and half perhaps suggesting the look into the future but shadowed by the past? Or I guess it's just the American flag split into the two states - Democrats and Republicans. Produced in 2008 for the Barack Obama presidency campaign.
William Morris - Trellis Wallpaper.
Inspired by the gardens at red house. Colour are quite subdued and restricted. Washed out. Mediaeval. 19th Century. Reaction to the Industrial revolution - hand made painting. Infatuated by nature and authenticity.
